panel repair instructions

Step 1 Prior to any preparation, repair or paint application, please read the
Material Safety Data Sheet and follow instructions for use of Personal
Protective Equipment.

Step 1 – Surface Preparation (Grinding)
• Make sure that application working area has been grinded to remove
rough surfaces and all paint particles. For large holes and repairs, use
prying and bumping tools to lift the dent first to reduce the amount of
filler needed.
Step 2
Step 2 – Surface Preparation (Cleaning)
• Clean the application working area of all particles (including moisture,
dirt and grease) with Low Odour Wax & Grease Remover.

Step 3 – Repair (Filler Mixing)
• Remove the required amount of filler and place on a clean mixing
board.
Replace the lid of the filler immediately.
Step 3 • Prior to mixing, knead the tube of hardener.
Make sure hardener has not expired.
A mixing ratio of 50:1 (50 parts filler to 1 part hardener) must be used.
• Mix all the filler and hardener for approximately 1-2 minutes, by
incorporating all the hardener into the filler so that the mixed colour is
uniform.
Be sure not to mix in air. Fold the mix, rather than stirring or whipping –
this will prevent the formation of pin holes.

Step 4 – Repair (Filler Application)
• Use a clean applicator (0899 471 1) and apply the mixed filler to
the application working area by spreading and folding the mix and
overlapping several times over.
Important: Discard all unused catalysed filler immediately from the
mixing board and applicator before the filler gels, clean applicator
with acetone so that it can be re-used.

Step 5 – Repair (Filler Sanding)
o
Step 4 • The filler should gel in about 6-8 minutes at 20 C. Sanding can
commence in approximately 20 minutes.
Make sure the top level of the gelled filler has dried completely prior to
sanding.
• P40 to P320 sand paper range is recommended for sanding process.
The Wurth Pneumatic Orbital Sander (0703 752 1) is perfect for this
test.
• Feel the surface for any depressions or bumps. Use Wurth Polyester
Step 5 Filler– Extra Fine (0993 111) to smooth off any application imperfec-
tions that may exist.
